Thomas Burberry
To many, Burberry is mainly just luxury trench coats and a fancy plaid pattern. But the brand's origins are far more than just that. They've outfitted the first man to reach the South Pole, the 1914 expedition across Antarctica, George Mallory's 1924 attempt on Mount Everest, and military personnel during the First World War. In this sort film from Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia, the life of founder Thomas Burberry is reimagined to tell the 160-year history of the brand, starting with the creation of his trademark gabardine fabric.
